Re: Philip James Mylrea b 12/5/1818

Marshall, I've been researching an Ann Mylrea as if it is the same Ann Mylrea who married John Kelly in Malew in 1844 she was the mother of James Kelly who was my great grandfather. However, I have 2 deaths for an Ann Mylrea both in 1854 - one in Ballaugh age 38 (where she came from) & one in Malew age 34 where she lived with her husband & 3 surviving chn. I know the Ann who md John Kelly died young & he then remd & produced several more chn. Were there 2 Ann Mylreas at that time? Rather unusual name. Why wasn't she called 'Kelly ' in parents wills? I'm still working on Ann ! I have told Diana (who is researching James Philip Mylrea) the names & christening dates of all the Mylrea chn to John/Ellinor but Diana is unavailabe at the moment
